Real Madrid Defeats Leganés 3-0 in La Liga

Real Madrid secured a decisive 3-0 victory over Leganés, with Kylian Mbappé scoring his first goal in five games just before halftime. The win allowed Madrid to close the gap on La Liga leaders Barcelona to four points, as they capitalized on Barcelona's recent draw. Federico Valverde, who captained the side for the first time, scored with a powerful free-kick in the second half, while Jude Bellingham added a third goal late in the game. Despite a disallowed goal early on due to offside, Mbappé's performance highlighted a return to form for the forward. The match was crucial for Madrid as they prepare to face Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday. Manager Carlo Ancelotti faced injury challenges but successfully fielded a competitive lineup, including young talents like Raul Asencio and Arda Güler.
